Children Of Blood And Bone

Chapter 74 – Inan
Note: This time you have not been provided a quote from the story. This is an
explanation.
King Saran firmly believes in duty over self. Peace between maji and kosidán
failed in the past, so he does not want to try again.
Inan believes he must make a similar choice between his country and his
heart. He makes the same choice as his father, even though the majacite
sword blisters his own skin (this is symbolism). Inan gives up everything to be
everything his Father wants.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is

- The message I take away from this explanation is that King Saran has to put his people, his country before himself. Duty as a king (royal) is to always protect what your ruling over. Inan wants to give everything up to be best in his father's eyes because in my opinion, his feelings have gotten the better of him. Knowing his father feels proud, and adores him a bit more Inan's feelings, of course, start to feel positive blinding him into believing his father.
